Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2003 21:53:14 EST Hi all, I can't understand myself why Wire wouldn't want to compile and release cleaned up archival material as a new dvd. Even as a fantastic, creative, and active now! band it makes little sense to me. I'm not saying go the route of Mark E. Smith and release everything and anything - although to his credit I do think, at least as far as the Fall's reputation among all the young local hipster musicians, bands, students and other potential cd buyers here in student town Providence - The Fall is a household name as a "cool" essential band - so the strategy of soaking the record bin with Fall cds makes them almost like a Grateful Dead of the underground scene. Sadly I cannot say the same for Wire - either your of the age to have been into them for the early masterpieces, or you maybe get wind of them via a college radio track or two, or perhaps word of mouth via a record shop clerk. #1) With Wire we're not talking a Billboard chart-topping act so dvd would be a nice format to get into large and small music shops ala Newbury comics as well as say a mammoth Virgin records - both the curious and the familiar fan would no doubt purchase the dvd. #2) I'm sure the band wouldn't mind an extra income source - this is almost always a good thing and nothing to turn a nose up at. #3) how does Wire's past efforts - which for the most part are incredible compared to so many bands that have come and gone - in any way detract from what they want to do now and in the future?? the move from the vinyl record format to the compact disc didn't change anything other than maybe add on some great bonus tracks. I also add as an alternative - to do a dvd such as Bill Nelson's latest - not really a compilation but a new work that also mixes in older material, this works really well in my opinion. Anyone able to get this proposal to the band now? - -Robert [demime 0.97c-p1 removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of Spooky .jpg] _________________________________________________________________ Hot chart ringtones and polyphonics.
